A post office was established at the community in 1888, and two blacksmith shops were operating here by 1892. The Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway came through the community in the early 1900s. By 1914 the town reported two general stores and a population of 250. The 1936 county highway map showed a church and cemetery at the townsite. Huffman's population was reported as fifty from the 1940s through the early 1990s.

Huffman covers about 54 square miles and housing approximately 10,000 citizens. Huffman is a unique community comprised largely of subdivisions, scattered farms, apartments, and small businesses.
